Correct.
If you removed a stone from that water, then the water would fill up the empty space, and would move towards were the stone was, at some speed.
The analogy is just that, an analogy, it does not hold. Keep to the facts.
Sam mentioned waves, I merely mentioned gravity speed. The example of removing the sun is clear enough I think. So how long will it take before we notice on earth if the sun was removed? So what IS the speed of gravity?
